Relationships between aboveground plant traits and carbon cycling in tundra plant communities

K. Happonen, A.-M. Virkkala, J. Kemppinen, P. Niittynen, M. Luoto

This study models how plant traits influence carbon cycling in tundra ecosystems, finding that plant height, SLA, and LDMC strongly affect carbon dynamics, with functional diversity also playing a significant role.

Trait-based responses to land use and canopy dynamics modify long-term diversity changes in forest understories

K. Happonen, L. Muurinen, R. Virtanen, E. Kaakinen, J.-A. Grytnes, E. Kaarlejärvi, P. Parisot, M. Wolff, T. Maliniemi

The paper examines how land-use practices and canopy dynamics affect long-term changes in forest understory diversity and functional traits over 4-5 decades in Finland.

Woody plants constructing tundra soils

J. Kemppinen, P. Niittynen, A.-M. Virkkala, K. Happonen, H. Riihimaki, J. Aalto, M. Luoto

This study examines how woody plant coverage and height affect tundra soil moisture, temperature, and organic carbon stocks, finding coverage has a significant inverse correlation while height does not.

Snow is an important control of plant community functional composition

K. Happonen, J. Aalto, J. Kemppinen, P. Niittynen, A.-M. Virkkala, M. Luoto

The paper investigates factors influencing plant community functional composition in Arctic tundra, finding that snow is the most influential abiotic variable.
